(en)The present invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition for the treatement of keratinous materials, particularly hair, comprising in a cosmetically or dermatologically exceptable medium at least a grafted silicone polymer with a polysiloxanic skeleton grafted by organic non silicone monomers and at least an aqueous dispersion of insoluble particles of non ionic or cationic polymer.

7.Description:
(en)[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological composition for treating keratin substances, in particular the hair, comprising at least one grafted silicone polymer with a polysiloxane skeleton grafted with non-silicone organic monomers, and at least one aqueous dispersion of insoluble particles of nonionic or cationic polymer.
[0002] It has been proposed to use aqueous dispersions of insoluble polymer particles in compositions for maintaining the hairstyle. However, the results obtained hitherto are still not satisfactory. The reason for this is that the fixing power is still not sufficient, the drying time is long and the cosmetic properties are still not satisfactory. Furthermore, the polymer is difficult to remove from the hair during washing with a shampoo.
[0003] Polymers with a polysiloxane skeleton grafted with non-silicone organic monomers are also known in the prior art. They are preferably chosen from those described in patent applications EP-A-0,582,152 and WO 93/23009. They are used in particular in hair compositions for their styling properties.
[0004] Compositions for washing and/or caring for and/or treating the hair containing styling polymers of this type in their formulation generally have the drawback of having a fixing power which is still insufficient.
[0005] The expression fixing power of the composition will be understood to denote the ability of this composition to give the hair cohesion such that the initial shape of the hairstyle is retained.
[0006] Compositions are thus still sought which do not have the drawbacks described above.
[0007] The Applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that by combining at least one silicone polymer having a polysiloxane skeleton grafted with non-silicone organic monomers with at least one dispersion of insoluble particles of nonionic or cationic polymer, the abovementioned drawbacks are overcome.
[0008] These compositions have good fixing power and good cosmetic properties such as disentangling and styling or brushing of the hair after application, the softness, the feel and the smoothness of the hair.
[0009] The composition according to the invention is thus essentially characterized in that it comprises, in a cosmetically or dermatologically acceptable medium, at least one grafted silicone polymer with a polysiloxane skeleton grafted with non-silicone organic monomers and at least one dispersion of insoluble particles of nonionic or cationic polymer.
[0010] In the following text, in accordance with what is generally accepted, the term silicone polymer is understood to denote any organosilicon polymer or oligomer having a linear or cyclic, branched or crosslinked structure of variable molecular weight, obtained by polymerization and/or polycondensation of suitably functionalized silanes, and consisting essentially of a repetition of main units in which the silicon atoms are linked together by oxygen atoms (siloxane bonding ≡Si—O—Si≡), optionally substituted hydrocarbon radicals being linked directly via a carbon atom to the said silicon atoms. The most common hydrocarbon radicals are alkyl radicals, especially C 1 -C 10 alkyl radicals, and in particular methyl, fluoroalkyl radicals, aryl radicals and in particular phenyl, and alkenyl radicals and in particular vinyl; other types of radicals which can be linked, either directly or via a hydrocarbon radical, to the siloxane chain are, especially, hydrogen, halogens and in particular chlorine, bromine or fluorine, thiols, alkoxy radicals, polyoxyalkylene (or polyether) radicals and in particular polyoxyethylene and/or polyoxypropylene, hydroxyl or hydroxyalkyl radicals, substituted or unsubstituted amine groups, amide groups, acyloxy radicals or acyloxyalkyl radicals, hydroxyalkylamino or aminoalkyl radicals, quaternary ammonium groups, amphoteric or betaine groups, anionic groups such as carboxylates, thioglycolates, sulphosuccinates, thiosulphates, phosphates and sulphates, needless to say this list not being limiting in any way (so-called “organomodified” silicones).
[0011] According to the present invention, the grafted silicone polymer(s) which is (are) to be used is (are) that (those) which comprise(s) a main silicone (or polysiloxane (≡Si—O—) n ) chain on which is grafted, inside the said chain as well as, optionally, on at least one of its ends, at least one organic group containing no silicone.
[0012] These silicone polymers can be existing commercial products or alternatively can be obtained according to any means known to those skilled in the art, in particular by reaction between (i) a starting silicone which is correctly functionalized on one or more of these silicon atoms, and (ii) a non-silicone organic compound which is itself correctly functionalized with a function which is capable of reacting with the functional group(s) borne by the said silicone, forming a covalent bond; a classic example of such a reaction is the hydrosilylation reaction between ≡Si—H groups and vinyl groups CH 2 ═CH—, or alternatively the reaction between thio functional groups —SH with these same vinyl groups.
[0013] Examples of silicone polymers which are suitable for carrying out the present invention, as well as their specific mode of preparation, are described in particular in patent applications EP-A-0,582,152, WO 93/23009 and WO 95/03776, the teachings of which are included in their entirety in the present description by way of non-limiting references.
[0014] According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the silicone polymer used comprises the result of the radical copolymerization between, on the one hand, at least one non-silicone anionic organic monomer having ethylenic unsaturation and/or a non-silicone hydrophobic organic monomer having ethylenic unsaturation, and, on the other hand, a silicone having in its chain at least one functional group capable of reacting with the said ethylenic unsaturations of the said non-silicone monomers, forming a covalent bond, in particular thio functional groups.
[0015] According to the present invention, the said anionic monomers containing ethylenic unsaturation are preferably chosen, alone or as a mixture, from linear or branched, unsaturated carboxylic acids, optionally partially or totally neutralized in the form of a salt, it being possible for this (these) carboxylic acid(s) to be, more particularly, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid, fumaric acid and crotonic acid. The suitable salts are, in particular, alkali metal salts, alkaline-earth metal salts and ammonium salts. It will likewise be noted that, in the final grafted silicone polymer, the organic group of anionic nature which comprises the result of the radical (homo)polymerization of at least one anionic monomer of unsaturated carboxylic acid type can, after reaction, be post-neutralized with a base (sodium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia, etc) in order to bring it into the form of a salt.
[0016] According to the present invention, the hydrophobic monomers containing ethylenic unsaturation are preferably chosen, alone or as a mixture, from acrylic acid esters of alkanols and/or methacrylic acid esters of alkanols. The alkanols are preferably C 1 -C 18 and more particularly C 1 -C 12 . The preferred monomers are chosen from the group consisting of isooctyl (meth)acrylate, isononyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, lauryl (meth)acrylate, isopentyl (meth)acrylate, n-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, methyl (meth)acrylate, tert-butyl (meth)acrylate, tridecyl (meth)acrylate and stearyl (meth)acrylate, or mixtures thereof.
[0017] One family of grafted silicone polymers which is particularly suitable for carrying out the present invention consists of silicone polymers containing in their structure the unit of formula (I) below:


[0018] in which the radicals G 1 , which may be identical or different, represent hydrogen or a C 1 -C 10 alkyl radical or alternatively a phenyl radical; the radicals G 2 , which may be identical or different, represent a C 1 -C 10 alkylene group; G 3 represents a polymer residue resulting from the (homo)polymerization of at least one anionic monomer containing ethylenic unsaturation; G 4 represents a polymer residue resulting from the (homo)polymerization of at least one hydrophobic monomer containing ethylenic unsaturation; m and n are equal to 0 or 1; a is an integer ranging from 0 to 50; b is an integer which may be between 10 and 350, c is an integer ranging from 0 to 50; with the proviso that one of the parameters a and c is other than 0.
[0019] Preferably, the unit of formula (I) above has at least one, and even more preferably all, of the following characteristics:
[0020] the radicals G 1 denote an alkyl radical, preferably the methyl radical;
[0021] n is non-zero and the radicals G 2 represent a divalent C 1 -C 3 radical, preferably a propylene radical;
[0022] G 3 represents a polymeric radical resulting from the (homo)polymerization of at least one monomer of the carboxylic acid type containing ethylenic unsaturation, preferably acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid;
[0023] G 4 represents a polymeric radical resulting from the (homo)polymerization of at least one monomer of the C 1 -C 10 alkyl (meth)acrylate type, preferably of the isobutyl or methyl (meth)acrylate type.
[0024] Examples of silicone polymers corresponding to formula (I) are, in particular, polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) on which are grafted, via a thiopropylene-type connecting chain, mixed polymer units of the poly(meth)acrylic acid type and of the polymethyl (meth)acrylate type.
[0025] Other examples of silicone polymers corresponding to formula (I) are, in particular, polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) on which are grafted, via a thiopropylene-type connecting chain, polymer units of the polyisobutyl (meth)acrylate type.
[0026] Preferably, the number-average molecular mass of the silicone polymers of the invention, ranges approximately from 10,000 to 1,000,000 and even more preferably approximately from 10,000 to 100,000.
[0027] The grafted silicone polymers in accordance with the invention are preferably used in an amount ranging from 0.01 to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition. More preferably, this amount ranges from 0.1 to 15% by weight and even more particularly from 0.5 to 10% by weight.
[0028] The aqueous dispersions of insoluble particles of nonionic or cationic polymer which can be used according to the invention are generally obtained by suspension or emulsion polymerization or copolymerization of monomers according to processes that are well known in the prior art (such dispersions are also known as “latices”). Aqueous polymer dispersions can also be obtained by dissolving the said polymer in a water-miscible organic solvent, after which water is added and lastly the organic solvent is evaporated off. This type of preparation is described, for example, in French patent application No. 2,697,160.
[0029] The average diameter of the insoluble polymer particles is generally less than 500 nm and preferably less than 250 nm. The glass transition temperature is generally between −30° C. and 90° C. and preferably between 10 and 35° C.
[0030] The polymer of the aqueous dispersion comprises at least one monomer chosen, for example, from styrene, butadiene, ethylene, tetrafluoroethylene, propylene, vinyltoluene, vinyl propionate, vinyl alcohol, acrylonitrile, chloroprene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, urethanes, isoprene, isobutene and esters or amides of acrylic, methacrylic, maleic, crotonic or itaconic acid, vinyl ethers, vinylpyrrolidone, vinylimidazole, trimethylammonioethyl (meth)acrylate and mixtures thereof.
